The Athletic’s Dane Brugler ranks Temple CB Rock Ya-Sin fifth among cornerbacks prior to the combine in the 2019 NFL Draft class.
There are quite a few prospects that intrigue with their size in this class, and Ya-Sin -- listed at 6-foot, 189-pounds -- is another one of those prospects, with Brugler noting his “rocked up, muscular frame.” He also cites his “excellent” ball skills, and ability/willingness to help in the run game. Like many of the other “big” corners, Brugler has questions about Ya-Sin’s speed, and that he needs to improve his timing in press coverage. "...[Ya-Sin]is a late bloomer,” Brugler writes in his summary, "[but he] stays dialed in with his eyes in the right place and outstanding competitive toughness, projecting best in a zone-heavy scheme.”
